Water company Severn Trent is looking to recruit 250 new workers to help boost frontline services.

The firm, which already employs 6,000 people and has 4.5 million customers across the Midlands and Wales, is looking for workers to join its asset creation and repair and maintenance teams.

Liv Garfield, Severn Trent chief executive, said: “We know how important it is for our customers to have a shower in the morning and to wake up with a freshly brewed cuppa, and our teams work hard every hour of every day to make that happen.

The company has more water pipes then any other company in England and Wales and has the longest sewer network outside London. Its current network of pipes stands at 49,000km long for water and 93,000km long few sewers.

Liv added: “Alongside the teams who work to keep our network working perfectly, we also need people who can change our pipes, create a new connection or carry out major work to improve and update our network.

“Our teams are absolutely brilliant and this is a great chance to join an awesome company, while also making a real difference to millions of people.”

Now Severn Trent is looking to fill the current vacancies, some of which are based in Stoke-on-Trent.

The roles include repair and maintenance technician, technical administrator and network support.

Ideal candidates will have prior experience, but the company will also look at training up the right people.
